THE SANDMAN returns to EXTREME RISING and home to the ECW Arena to drink some beers, smoke cigarettes, and to cane a few people. Raise your beer and wear your SANDMAN shirt on 3/1 to show your support!

THE FRANCHISE SHANE DOUGLAS has unfinished business of his own to attend to upon his return to the former ECW Arena where he reigned as ECW World Heavyweight Champion longer than anyone else in the history of Extreme Championship Wrestling.

STEVIE RICHARDS* will defend the Extreme Rising World Title, that is as long as he retains it against SABU 2/8 in Pittsburgh, PA at “Black, Gold, & Extreme”.
